It seems that Alfrún is very hard with Grim, making him understand that he was like a tool of vengeance, that makes me really sad for Grim, especially seeing his reactions. But I am not sure it is only a tool of revenge for her, I feel she really loves but has not acquired the maternal feelings and that she hides her feelings for his son.
I love this sentence of Grim: "I do not find him any harder to love than nature itself.”
As I often say I find very admirable the way how you add Fenrir in the TES lore, but now I'm even more impressed when I see all the history that you've managed to add goshawks of the thieves guild main quest, it is so consistent and well led. All this gives a lot of freshness to these old quests that I know almost by heart!
I really appreciate the words Alfrún about Thalmor who hates half-breeds, for them they are abominations, even worse than humans. I saw a lot of discussion on French forums Skyrim, many said "I do not like the nords, they are stupid racist..." it is true that the Nords are very "nationalistic" but the racist in the game are the Thalmor, they think that other races are their lower, so they are perfectly within the definition of racism. All races in the game have flaws, but the Thalmor are the worst garbage!
May the Thalmor tremble, one day we will destroy all of them and when Fenrir will be free, their arrogance disappear in Oblivion with them! ^^
Magnificent pictures too and I love the last shot with the smiling Grim
I understand the issue with the Nords and bigotry ... one reason I always sided with the Imperials. However I like to think it isn't all of them. Many of them seem more open - just the storm cloaks tend to attract the more extreme ones I think ... as those are the ones more willing to fight for their independence.
Glad you liked the shots and Fenrir will probably share some form of retribution against the Thalmor :p
I like how Grim finally decided "to hell with it, she's my mom and deserves a big bear hug!" much to everyone's surprise ;-)
Grim conversation with his mother was also very intense, though in emotional way. He seemed totally confused, and it is understandable, too much information and memories that are not his. I was a little sad to know that Alfrun doesn't love and never loved Fenrir, her feelings for him are admiration and respect. I think Grim is right, to love his father is not so hard, since he represents nature, it were beautiful and poetic words that he has said. Also I think it is still hard for Grim so easily accept Alfrun in his life, yet his hug with her said a lot of words without speaking them aloud.
So now their ways have separated once more, they both have very important business to attend to, finally expose and get rid of Mercer along with more epic quest - getting the eye of Magnus...
thank you very much for sharing your awesome work! I will look forward for continuation! And I am so intrigued by future Erik's story too!
In regards to Alfrun and Fenrir - as I mentioned to Aaron she just didn't feel it. He is a bit overwhelming to her. She has trouble really getting her mind around him as a "person". She likes and cares for him, otherwise she would not be helping him, but she just never really felt love towards him. Her mother and sister are the two main loves in her life. I suspect she had some mistreatment by men and therefore does not feel as comfortable around them - Grim and Erik being exceptions for obvious reasons.
Aye they are separated and they do have business. It will be hard as they have to act like they don't really know each other ... but I suppose it isn't all that much of an act since they really don't know each other. However there will be more about the two of them later on. I got something really big planned later
I can hardly wait to see what comes next, both Erik's story and Grim's.
P.S. -- What languages does Grim know, anyway?
As for languages ... I don't want to lock myself into anything but Fenrir is an ancient creature. Marissa taught him most of the current languages, at least enough to get by in (those of the main races), and he can read/write in about half of them. For old languages Snow Elf, Forsworn, Skaal, and Atmorian would be the main ones.
You just keep getting better and better and I hope you will be writing many, many more episodes of Grim's story!
